In hopes of creating ?a community of readers,? the three elementary schools in the Bedford Public Schools district are continuing their One District, One Book reading initiative in 2014.

In hopes of creating ?a community of readers,? the three elementary schools in the Bedford Public Schools district are continuing their One District, One Book reading initiative in 2014.

In March, as part of National Reading Month, the schools will create a ?community-wide book club? where all Bedford Township families are encouraged to participate by reading ?Frindle? by Andrew Clements.

Each elementary school family will receive a copy of the book through support from the elementary Parent Teacher Associations and Scholastic. To kick off One District, One book, school-wide assemblies will be held on March 3. At the assembly, each student will receive a reading schedule and their copy of ?Frindle.?

The elementary school reading teachers Kristy Babka from Douglas Road, Janice Gibson from Jackman Road, and Amy Kochendoerfer from Monroe Road are coordinating the reading.

Students will take part in discussions during their classes. ?We anticipate that families will enjoy reading a chapter of the book together as a family each night,? the teachers said.

A Web site has been set up for families to utilize while taking part in One District, One Book, which will feature trivia questions and information about the story. That site is http://BedfordODOB.blogspot.com.
